Stand-out design
Excellent short-range speed
Useful mobile features
The all-new Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 Smart Wi-Fi Router offers stellar performance on the 5GHz band

The editors didn't like
Dated interface
Pricey
Long-range performance wasn't great
The router's ridiculously bulky and its performance on the 2.4GHz
Though fast
Is slower than its top competitor. Its Web interface doesn't offer access to its parental control feature
And the Netgear Genie mobile app doesn't work over the Internet
Abstract: It's been more than 18 months since the first 802.11ac routers hit the market, and the IEEE still hasn't approved the draft standard. If you think Congress moves slowly, you haven't been tracking the pace at which the IEEE has been considering the draft v...

Fast, Router Stablity, Range, ReadySHARE Vault
Ports are not all consolidated on the rear, USB 3.0 performance not much better than USB 2.0, Still waiting for promised firmware features
In the modern wireless market, there is not much difference between the underlying hardware each of the vendors bases their products on. When comparing state-of-the-art AC1900 Wi-Fi routers, chances are that, aside from some slight variation in clock spe...
Abstract: The Nighthawk($159.99 at Best Buy), is Netgear's latest router in the company's premium dual-band 802.11ac router line-up. The router looks as cool as its name suggests, with a trapezoid design and flared sides. The shape is reminiscent of the famed fight...
• Supports router, AP, media bridge and WDS bridging/repeating
Nothing glaring
With only two AC1900 routers to show, the Router Ranker results are pretty uninteresting. But for the record, they show the NETGEAR R7000 Nighthawk in the #1 position and the ASUS RT-AC68U as number 2.AC1900 is mainly a marketing ploy to make you feel lik...

Abstract: One of the most common annoyances of modern man is a poorly functioning WiFi connection. Especially now that more and more devices are becoming connected and it only gets busier in the ether, it can do no harm to take a good look at your current equipment...

Summarizing the results of the measured speeds tests, we can see that on the 2,4GHz frequency, the Fritz!Box 3490 is the fastest router showing speeds of 128 Mbit/s on average. Second is the DIR-879 by D-Link (average of 125 Mbit/s) and the Linksys EA7500...
Are you looking for an 802.11ac router? Then you'll be able to choose from a plethora of routers, since pretty much all 802.11ac models that have been released since 2012, are still readily available. This does imply that there hasn't been a lot of chan...
Abstract: So I decided to attack the problem and try the most powerful router I could find. I alighted on this Netgear one partly because of its scary name, its Star Wars shape and its trio of butch-looking antennae. But also because the Nighthawk is designed for g...

High 802.11ac transfer speeds, Simultaneous 5GHz2.4GHz, Easy setup, USB 3.0 port for addin storage, USB 2.0 printer support, Impressive QoS options for consumer market, Decent setup software with heaps of options, Weird and wonderful styling (if you like
Expensive, Poor 2.4GHz 802.11n performance, mainly because of the tiny A6100 USB adapter, Takes a while to save changes in setup, Limited appeal for professional market, Weird and wonderful styling (if you have conventional tastes).
The real world tests used in this review deliver results that fall short of the manufacturer's claims, however the bandwidth with a Mac Pro 2013 was very good. On our PC, the Netgear A6100 USB adapter undoubtedly plays its part with the slightly disappoin...
Abstract: The Netgear AC1900 Nighthawk wireless router is definitely not cheap, and it also has a lot to live up to, with Netgear claiming that it features the most powerful transmitter around and delivers the fastest Wi-Fi. It may not quite live up to those lofty ...
